As we approach Round 2 decisions for the 2025–2026 application cycle, the waiting period can feel especially stressful. To help ease some of that uncertainty, we’ve compiled estimated decision timelines for top schools. Please note that these projections are based solely on trends observed over the past few years using data from the decision tracker. We are not suggesting that schools will necessarily follow the same timelines or release schedules this year.
